A proposed expansion of the private Green Hedges School in Vienna (415 Windover Avenue NW) will return to the town’s planning commission for review tonight (Wednesday).
After three years of discussions, the school filed an updated application for a conditional use permit earlier this month that includes some notable changes from its original proposal, which emerged in May 2022.
Three men believed to be part of an “organized burglary crew” were arrested earlier this month after allegedly burglarizing a home in Kingstowne.
Officers responded to the 6500 block of Kelsey Point Circle on Sept. 17 after a resident returned home to find the domicile “left in disarray” and the theft of approximately $30,000 worth of property, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
